MH and XMH: E-Mail for Users and Programmers

Learning how to customize your email environment can save you time and make communicating more enjoyable. MH & xmh: Email for Users & Programmers explains how to use, customize, and program with MH electronic mail commands, available on virtually any UNIX system. MH is notable for its power and flexibility: you'll be able to do things you never thought you could do with an email program. This book contains the information you'll need to configure MH on your system and customize it to your needs. The 3rd edition covers three popular interfaces to MH: xmh (for the X environment, exmh (an X interface written in Tcl/Tk), and Mh-e (an interface for GNU users). These interfaces are both easy to use and powerful, and this book allows you to learn about them in stages. There is a Quick Tour of each interface, letting you get started quickly. Then there are examples, tips, and programming techniques that let you use the power inherent in MH. This handbook is packed with explanations and useful examples which simply don't appear in the standard documentation. The authors provide a quick reference for all the interfaces as well. Also, this book covers the use of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). MIME is an extension that lets MH (and other mail programs) send graphics, sound, and other multimedia files across the net, even between otherwise incompatible systems.Peek, Jerry is the author of 'MH and XMH: E-Mail for Users and Programmers' with ISBN 9781565920934 and ISBN 1565920937.
